Spaın
I’ve been in Madrid for two days
when I come across the bronze
statue of Spain’s fictional folk hero,
and his sensible sidekick Sancho Panza
in the Plaza de Espana. Behind them is
a monument to their creator, Miguel
de Cervantes.
Daydreaming – if not exactly ‘tilting
at windmills’ as Don Quixote did – is
easy in Spain. As my coach tour rolls
through seven cities, the time spent
travelling through the countryside
gives plenty of opportunity for
reflection on where you’ve just been.
And if I see my fellow travellers’ heads
droop from time to time, I can quite
understand it. The pace is not slow,
and a few hours in the bus is just the
thing for a quick nap.
For me, napping is not an option; I
don’t want to miss a minute of what’s
outside the window.
It’s my first visit to southern Spain,
so I arrived in Madrid a day early
to recover a little from the journey
before joining a Globus tour. A short
Metro ride from the hotel and I was in
historic Plaza Mayor, dodging buskers
and spruikers but enjoying the thrill of
finally getting to this lovely city.
Madrid provides just one of a
string of highlights that befits a Best
of Spain tour, the Prado Museum. For
fans of European art, this is the place
to find some of the best; the Prado’s
permanent collection includes works
by Goya, Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian,
Caravaggio and El Greco.
It’s worth taking the optional day
tour to nearby Toledo, just a 45-minute
drive south of Madrid. Be prepared for
some serious walking, as that’s the best
way to discover the cobblestone alleys
and back streets of the Old Town.
Spain may be constitutionally a
secular society, but more than 70 per
cent of the population is Catholic.
And, as you’ll learn throughout the

Travel in Spain for a short
time – just over a week.
In Lee Mylne’s case – she
soon encountered the
daydreaming Don Quixote.
